Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Marseille welcomes Valenciennes tonight in stade Veledrome! Both teams in opposit form at the moment. Marseille lost 3 in a row now and conceded 9 goals in 3 games. Bad record for them and defensively they are vulnerable recently. Diawara their centre back is in terrible form, every time he touches the ball your heart stops as a Marseille fan. :D N'Koulou returns from injury which is a boost for them. I thought he was still out but he is in the squad for tonight's game. Abdallah [defender 10 games] is out same for Cheyrou [14 games 1 goal midfielder], Morel and long term A.Ayew. They have a pretty fit squad for this one. Anyways, Marseille really sissapointed me against Monaco. No real threat upfront and they still conceded 2 goals with Falcao playing. I knew they needed at least 1 goal to even draw the game but 2-0 was not a likely result for me. Upfront they lacked creativity and I don't know why but their coach uses the wrong players on the wrong positions. He is unexperienced so maybe that's why but suddenly Valbuena who is their best playmaker, played mostly on the wings because he really plays defensively with 3 midfielders in the likes of Lemina, Romao and Cheyrou. Now Cheyrou got injured and he's out that's a blow for their midfield but Imbula also played on a regular basis. Payet was benched, this guy is a really good technical winger with pace and someone who can score goals. But, since valbuena plays on the wings he or Thauvin are on the bench. That's a wrong decision if you ask me. These 3 are the creative brain of Marseille and Gignac needs some good deliveries as well. We will have to wait if he plays like this again, I do think so cause he rarely plays without 3 defensive midfielders but I'm not totally sure. Maybe he suddenly woke up due their poor performances. Valenciennes on the other hand really improved under their new coach. Unbeaten in 2014, lost in the cup but that was in extra time. They played a pretty good second half against Lorient. They had some troubles in the first half and conceded but the moment Pujol their club hero walked on the pitch they totally dominated the game and found the net pretty quickly. He really inspires and motivates the team, really important he is back. Masuaku will probably move to the bench for this game. He is a fullback but played as a winger because of some injuries in their squad. They will still miss 6 or 7 players though. But only Bahebeck and Le Tallec are important. Most of their regulars are fit so not that much of a problem! This is their squad list : Novaes, Penneteau - Angoua, Ciss, Kagelmacher, Lala, Masuaku, Mater, Medjani, Nery - Da Silva, Dossevi, Doumbia, Ducourtioux, Enza-Yamissi, Melikson - Massampu, Pujol, Waris Same 11 as last game only Pujol comes in for Masuaku. We can expect a determined away side with a great morale and their leader Pujol back in the squad. I fancy them to get something from this game. Marseille is not red hot at the moment and they concede on a regular basis. There will be chances for the away side in this game. Their defense also improved a lot and Valenciennes is always a dangerous team to face when your team is not in great form. I'm not expecting a lot of goals so I'm confident enough to back Valenciennes on the +1 asian line odds around evens. If they will loose tonight it will not be by more than one goal and than the bet will be voided. I'm confident Valenciennes will score tonight. Medium stakes for me! Small stakes on Valenciennes +0.5 for some decent profit! Odds around 2.40! 1 punt on Valenciennes to win odds 7.00 for a sneaky result! Likely result 1-1 for me! Goodluck!

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Wow, huge changes in both sides. Diawara is on the bench and he finally fielded his best team available. Thauvin payet and gignac upfront. Valbuena will plas as a playmaker with ramao and lemina. Strong line-up and he woke up like I wrote. Home win looks very tempting now cause Pujol is on the bench like wtf? Still probably not fully fit and this is a blow. I think Marseille will react properly in this formation. Unlucky for my bets and I did stake something on the home win now too for some cover. BTS is still possible so Marseille to win and over 2.5 is tempting! Huge surprises guys sorry didn't see that coming.

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd 1-1 at HT! Equal game but I think Marseille will snatch it with 2-1. Gl gl gl!

[senk]

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd 2-1 FT! Ended as expected luckily for me Marseille didnt score another one so main bet is a void. Pre-game it was the right play but when I saw the line-ups there were some important changes in both teams so I stakes some units on Marseille to win and over 2.5 goals! Small profit overall so not that bad to be honest. Cu at the weekend guys!

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd PSG Bordeaux Save victory for PSG here? 1,3 is definitly no value... So were is the value? I think i found it :) Bordeaux finished 8 from 10 away games with BTTS. PSG last 5 matches 4 times no clean sheet. I think the defense didn't looks very save, for example against Lille home 2-2 Guingamp, Ajaccio, Rennes scored against them last games, just Nantes did not. Bordeaux should score here. BTTS 2.45 @ BetVictor

[senk]

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd The price is high because Bordeaux is pretty toothless upfront due some injuries. They are still without Jussie and Diabete their 2 best strikers and topscorers. One of their best midfielders is injured too Obrianak [21 games 4 goals]. Rolan another forward is also out along with defender Poundje both played 9 games! Really important missings and I don't see them score that easily here! This is their group that travelled to Paris. Le groupe : Carrasso, Olimpa – Mariano, Henrique, Bréchet, Chalmé, Orban, Sané, Planus, Faubert – Poko, Nguemo, Traoré, Maurice-Belay, Sertic – Hoarau, Saivet, Bellion. PSG had some mixture results lately, a couple of cup games and their focus was not 100% can't think of anything else to be honest. When it matters PSG always shines and Ibra and co can demolish every team in ligue 1! Only Rabiot, Veratti and Jallet are out injured so no real problems there imo. This is their group that travelled: Groupe : ALEX, Yohan Cabaye, CAMARA Zoumana, CAVANI Edinson, DIGNE Lucas, DOUCHEZ Nicolas, IBRAHIMOVIC Zlatan, LAVEZZI Ezequiel, LUCAS, MARQUINHOS, MATUIDI Blaise, MAXWELL, MENEZ Jérémy, ONGENDA Hervin, PASTORE Javier, SIRIGU Salvatore, THIAGO MOTTA, THIAGO SILVA, VAN DER WIEL Gregory. They can field a very strong line-up and most important Thiago Silva will be back in the centre. They really missed him lately! Digne is no where near his quality. I expect a comfortable win for PSG here. Almost all Bordeaux's goal threat is missing and I can see PSG scoring 2 or 3 here. 3 days ago PSG also netted 3 times against Bordeaux in the cup, a heavy game but I think PSG will be way more focussed in the league. Bordeaux normally does not concede a lot but PSG is from another level. Without decent strikers you often loose the ball which results in fast counter-attacks and huge pressure for your midfield and defense. No way Bordeaux will hold this for 90 minutes. Maybe BTS will come in but I rather play PSG -1.5 here odds around 1.75! Odds for a cleansheet are ridicilous although I think this is likely but 1.66 for PSG against Bordeaux come on? Looks like bookies expect a solid 2-0 win here. PSG over 2.5 goals odds around 2,10 is tempting but I'm not sure yet. If bordeaux finds the net than I'm confident PSG will score 3 times cause I'm expecting a comfortable home win but for now I'll stick to PSG -1.5 with medium stakes! Looks like a safe bet to me guys. Goodluck all!

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Is Cabaye likely to start tonight?

[senk]

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Yes, I do think so. He is a great player and fit perfectly in a midfield with Matuidi and Thiago motta. Verrati is out so chances for him to start are big in this game. I expect him to adapt pretty fast always nice to join a club of your own nationality. French coach so this might help him too! :)

PSG Bordeaux Save victory for PSG here? 1,3 is definitly no value... So were is the value? I think i found it :) Bordeaux finished 8 from 10 away games with BTTS. PSG last 5 matches 4 times no clean sheet. I think the defense didn't looks very save, for example against Lille home 2-2 Guingamp, Ajaccio, Rennes scored against them last games, just Nantes did not. Bordeaux should score here. BTTS 2.45 @ BetVictor

I am not mad about this bet. PSG have won 7 of their last 8 home games , with 6 clean sheets. I would rather be looking at the over 3.5 goals . PSG have gone over 3.5 goals at home in 7 straight games. It is the best over 3.5 home record for the last 7 games in Europe. They have also scored 3 or more goals in 6 of their last 7 home games The over 3.5 goals is a fantastic price of 2.7 on betvictor 4 units for me

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Like we said. Bookies were spot on and a solid 2-0 victory for psg.

Nice call. Thought it was a pretty terrible game to be honest, haven't seen a less ambitious team than Bordeaux for a while they didn't have any belief at all they could have played all night and they wouldn't have scored, PSG had little creativity but the amount of possession they had around the box meant they would score one eventually.

[senk]

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd True, like the result was fixxed.. ;-) Bordeaux was really poor yeah but their missings are big and I rate them as a better home side anyways. I was still a bit nervous in the end cause the 2-0 came that late but anything else than a home win should have been a miracle tbh.

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd FC Lorient one of the strongest home teams in ligue 1 welcomes AS Monaco to their stadium. Interesting fixture it is. Both have a very solid defense and they often kept a cleansheet in league games! 7 for Lorient and 9 for Monaco so far. Monaco showed in their last game that they can be pretty efficient even without their key player Falcao. A solid 2-0 win over Marseille was a great sign, I don't think they will give PSG a lot of troubles this season but it seems they are the best of the rest.. Normally Lyon in hot form can do them some harm but they started pretty poor so forget about that. This is a really hard fixture to predict if you'd ask me. On one hand you could say that BTS is very likely, Lorient only failed once in their last 9 games to find the net, they have 2 in-form strikers at the moment Aboubakar and Aliadiere who combine their strength and speed pretty well for dangerous plays through the wings or the centre. Jouffre and Monnet-Paquet are also their to provide some great assists, and they can also score a goal themselves. At home Lorient plays pretty dominant and they often score the first goal but Monaco will be aware of this fact and can strike deadly on the counter. One advantage for Lorient could be that they use their artificial pitch and Monaco's centre backs are pretty slow Carvalho and Abidal could face some serious trouble here. Same line-up as last week for Lorient I suppose. This is their group : Le groupe : Chaigneau, Reynet - Baca, Guerreiro, Ecuele Manga, Koné, Gassama, Bourillon, Lautoa - Monnet-Paquet, Abdullah, Pelé, Traoré, Jouffre - Aboubakar, Diallo, Sunu, Aliadière. Monaco are playing pretty effective football. It sometimes looks a bit flat but they always manage to nick one or two in. A quality you could say, yes it is. Ranieri cares way more about the results than about playing attractive football. 4 cleansheets in their last 5 games is impressive and it will be a big test for lorient to open them up. One big miss for Monaco though, it is the experienced smart fox Toulalan. He is the engine of their team and really important when it comes to slowing the enemy down or cover for his colleagues in the centre. Obbadi [21 games 2 goals] will likely be his sub for this game. So only 1 change in Monaco's line-up probably cause Germain did a good job last week along with Riviere. Martial is fit again but he won't start I guess. I think it will be a pretty tight game overall but Lorient usually starts pretty well on their own ground so I wouldn't be surprised if they score first here. Monaco may need some time to adapt to the pitch. 0-0 or 1-0 at HT are likely scores for me. The odds for a home win were great when the markets opened around 4.80 but I hesitated too much and I really hate myself for that. When I saw this fixture 2 weeks ago I told myself, yes this is a nice chance for lorient to get something here but I didn't pull the trigger unfortunately. But I will still back Lorient here +0.5 due home advantage and the missing of Falcao and Toulalan. I don't think Monaco will keep winning back to back games for the whole season and this is one of those fixtures where Lorient can surprise Monaco early in the game. Odds around 1.85 for Lorient +0.5 are fair to me and I'll take them with medium stakes. Both teams are showing some great potential upfront but I think this will be a tight affair. Both defenses are pretty solid and 1-1 is the most likely result for me. I'll back under 2.5 goals with odds around 1.75 for some small stakes too. 1 point on the correct score 1-2 for some cover. Maybe Monaco will edge this one late in the game through a fast counter-attack if Lorient plays for a win in front of their fans. Goodluck all! Edit : D.Berbatov [Fullham] and Abdennour [Toulouse] joined AS Monaco on loan for the rest of the season but they are NOT included in the squad for this game.

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd meatmen where are you ? :D

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Lorient – Monaco Tough one here. I quite fancy the overs but the price isn’t good enough. I’d also love to back against Monaco but they do deserve some respect and seem to operate fairly well without Falcao. Overall this is a no bet match for me and my prediction is Lorient 2-2 Monaco Bastia – Guingamp Team news is favourable for both. SCB missed a few last last week at Toulouse (well they would have if the match had gone ahead) but the Corsicans are in much better shape today. The likes of Landreau, Krasic and a couple of others return to fitness today, their only major absentee is midfielder Yannick Cahuzac, who’s suspended. Guingamp miss a couple of attackers – Langil and Mandanne but are generally in fairly decent condition too. Bastia have had a 10 day break from action approaching this contest, which is usually a great rest period for optimum performance. I quite fancy Bastia here. Their form has been patchy for a while but this seems to be a favourable position for them. I talked about the 10 day break and their returning players, but Guingamp travel here having won just 1 of their last 11 games. They managed to raise themselves for PSG last week, drawing 1-1, but that was in front of their own fans and a completely different kettle of fish. A trip to Corsica is never easy and Bastia have one of the best home records in the ligue, its one of the hardest places to visit. SCB have a 7-2-1 home record this season which is really impressive. Frederic Hantz’s men have only conceded 5 goals in the process, 3 of which came in one match against Lyon so have clearly been extremely solid. Guingamp’s biggest issue on the road has been scoring goals. In total, they’ve only managed to net 5 times whilst on their travels. In fact, scoring goals has been a major problem for them full stop in recent weeks. During that aforementioned 11 game run which contains just 1 victory, the Bretons have netted a measly 4 goals! This is totally shocking and I struggle to see how they score tonight at fortress Furiani. A draw can’t be ruled out which is why I’m taking the hosts on a -0.25 AH line, but I have a strong feeling about Bastia in this match so I’m willing to stake highly on them. Prediction: Bastia 2-0 Guingamp Recommended bet: Bastia -0.25 @ 1.94 7/10

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Meatmen what about Evian? They need to win this.

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd

Meatmen what about Evian? They need to win this.

They've had 1 win since the 2nd of November, have a terrible history when being a favourite, and the pressure on them to win this match is MASSIVE. Ajaccio have no Ochoa and are fucking shit themselves but I won't bet here. Evian shouldn't be a -1 favourite against anyone in this ligue. I think Evian will probably win the game by a 1 goal margin, it should be a really tense affair

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd

Sochaux - Nantes more goals 1st half @ 3,2 BetVictor Souchaux at home goals 14 / 7 Nantes away goals 12 / 14

Be careful, Nantes playes a semi-final on Tuesday against PSG (Coupe de La Ligue). PSG are not imperial at the moment and it's a great chance for us to play a final. Add to that we're currently not in a good run, not wellknown for our away results and that Sochaux is fighting for surviving ! Bet on Nantes tonight is not a good idea for me.

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd good advice

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > January 29th - February 2nd Lorient vs AS Monaco ended 2-2. Main bet won, good prediction of you meatman with the 2-2. First half was pretty tight and like expected Lorient took the early lead like they often do. But monaco equalised before the break so than I knew the unders would probably fail. Anyways, a bit of a profit is better than nothing. Lorient again showed they are hard to beat and scored 2 goals against Monaco. Carvalho didnt play though, was a bit of a surprise for me! I'm also on Bastia to win with medium stakes tonight, meatman said it all! Goodluck guys.
